Risk Management

Description

Change of government, new priorities, global depression, terrorism, banking failures, increasing debt and loss of critical knowledge. These are just some of the risks facing organisation today. Organisations facing uncertainty need to manage these risks better, in order to:

Deliver services better in a more challenging environment
Reduce time spent problem solving
Increase adaptability
Increase focus on doing the right things, better
Set strategy better
Plan their activities better
Mitigate issues by predicting them and putting in place measures earlier
Use decreasing resources more efficiently
Reduce waste
Manage change effectively
Improve innovation
Provide better value for money

M_o_R® is the OGC's methodology for Managing Risk and provides guidance to organisations to embed good risk management practices.

Course

Our M_o_R course is a 5 day course accredited by the APMG that enables delegates to understand the methodology at Foundation level (Mon-Weds) and to apply it at Practitioner level (Thurs - Fri). Delegates can choose to stay for 3 days or 5 days, as appropriate.

We also run an in-house briefing for 1 day for larger groups. This is not examined.

Pre-course work is provided to familiarise delegates with the manual and materials before the course starts. Whilst not essential, delegates that complete the course work are consistently more successful than those that don't.

Audience

Programme managers (practitioner) and project managers (foundation) to help embed good risk management in their activities
Departmental managers who are managing risk on a day to day basis
Portfolio/PMO/P3O staff who need to manage risk across programmes and projects
Members of corporate governance/audit/assurance teams involved in managing strategic and operational risks in the business.

Content

The M_o_R framework will be introduced and delegates taught how to implement the framework appropriately for their own organisational needs whether at project, programme, portfolio or business management level.
